[CBright7831]

Oh no, is this bad for TMNT?

[Exslade ZX]

Wild Hogs still going strong I see.

 

And I thought Disturbia came out this weekend?

[Spaceman Spiff]

Disturbia is just Rear Window, right?

[2GOLD]

Wild Hogs still going strong I see.

 

And I thought Disturbia came out this weekend?

 

April 13th, and yeah it's pretty close to Rear Window. Just instead of a broken leg, he's under house arrest.

As for TMNT, it's really hard to say. Probably should have released it a week earlier than they did so it wouldn't only get one week as the only animated movie.

[Madmartigan21]

It's a shame that The Lookout did so badly. It's pretty damn good movie. Easily the best so far of this young year.

[Ravenbomb]

Agreed. I just saw The Lookout, it's a damn good movie.

[Youth N Asia]

Saw Blades of Glory and didn't love it. Couple funny moments, but I could have done without.

 

Hills Have Eyes 2 and The Lookout are next on my list. My girl wants to see the Namesake, but the closest showing is 90 minutes away

[Ravenbomb]

Yeah, The Namesake looks good

[Corey_Lazarus]

TMNT was fucking incredible. Easily my favorite of the series.

The fight between Raphael and Leonardo on the rooftop, when Leo catches Raph as the Night Watcher, was actually one of the more intense fight sequences I've seen in a long time.

The movie didn't make the mistake of spending too much time building up to the action, and didn't suffer from the awkward animation. Voice acting was spot on, animation was superb, and the only real complaint I have is that Michaelangelo and Donatello didn't matter at all. Michaelangelo was there for the occasional comedic relief (and was genuinely funny, something he usually isn't in any of the cartoons), but Donatello...yeah, he didn't matter. One good joke at the beginning about being an IT tech support for some computer company, but nothing else. They once again focus on Raph (which I like as he IS the most interesting character), and Casey Jones as a big side character was nice.

 

The actual moviegoing experience, though, was lame. There were two teenage girls a few seats away from me and Steph (and her brother and his girlfriend) who actually didn't know who Splinter was. How the FUCK can you be over the age of 8 and NOT know who Master Splinter is?! My fucking 4-year-old niece knows all of the turtles, Splinter, Casey, April, and Shredder, and she's only seen the first movie twice. They didn't even know Splinter was a rat. WHAT. THE. FUCK?!
